Ralph Davies International Ltd (RDI), which specialises in food ingredients logistics, has adopted an AI-enhanced Progressive Safety System (PSS) from vehicle safety expert Fleetclear, to ensure its London-bound fleet is compliant with the latest Direct Vision Standard (DVS) regulations.
Fleetclear’s PSS system is said to streamline multiple safety features into one system for full DVS compliance, reducing driver workload and minimising the risk of accidents.
All safety technology, video footage, tracking, and telematics are easily monitored via Fleetclear Connect, a web-based platform that consolidates data and simplifies fleet management workflows.
Martin Cartwright, transport manager at Ralph Davies, commented: “Fleetclear not only installed the PSS equipment on our vehicles incredibly quickly, but they also guided us through the entire compliance process with TfL. They provided everything we needed to prove compliance, including installation certificates and photographic evidence.”
He added: “Ensuring the Ralph Davies vehicles are compliant has made a huge difference to our operational efficiency. It facilitates our groupage strategy into London, positively impacting our bottom line.”
Joshua Phillips, finance director at Ralph Davies, said: “Standardising with Fleetclear improves efficiency across our fleet. The Fleetclear Connect platform gives us deeper operational insight and makes data analysis simple. We plan to use it in the future to optimise driver performance, improve fuel efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.”
Mike Crowther, business development director at Fleetclear, commented: “We are delighted to be working with Ralph Davies International who prioritise safety across every area of their business, and we are thrilled that they have chosen to standardise our technology across their fleet operations.”
With over 15 years of expertise, Fleetclear highlights its ability to help fleets operate safely, efficiently and responsibly, citing benefits such as its team of fully qualified in-house engineers and leading aftersales support and warranties.
